Pros:

- Easy to follow steps
- Calms angry spots super quickly
- Continues to improve skin with consistent use
- Doesn't smell revolting

Cons:

- Can be drying - don't use too much!
- Some people mightn't like the scent
- Doesn't stretch far for the price

I'm one of those people who has tried everything and loses heart after weeks of either no results or worsening acne. I will openly admit that after three or four weeks, if I don't see any improvement whatsoever, I struggle to remain consistent when it comes to applying treatments... I have been gutted like a fish plenty of times by products that make promises and use Delta Goodrem's fake fluoride smile to sell them. I was floundering with my regime and I saw this kit at the supermarket, so I figured it couldn't hurt to try it. My face was in a state, and it had been for a few weeks. I'd basically given up on it and I felt disgusting. I started using this system without any high hopes (I just felt like I needed to do SOMETHING). Three weeks later, my skin has cleared up considerably and it has smoothed out like crazy. I still have some atrocious red marks, but I don't care... I can cover flat marks with makeup, whereas trying to cover big, painful red bumps with makeup just makes me want to cry. It can be drying, but I've found my skin has adapted to it. Remember that you need to exfoliate (gently... very, very gently!) to slough off dead skin. I use a baby's hairbrush. This is pretty long-winded, but honestly, if you're looking for something that's easily acquired that gives you decent results, try this. If it doesn't work, at least you can say that you've tried it out. And if you're like me and you suck at keeping up regimes, the step system will pro'lly help you keep up consistent treatment (I can be totally useless with it sometimes).

Pros:

- Small spot treatment gel lasts a lot longer than expected, using twice a day really helped decrease spot size & redness.

- Cleanser leaves you feeling refreshed.

- Only a thin layer of moisturiser needed

Cons:

- Quite pricey, about £13 which I think is roughly $20.

- Didn't help red marks or scars (mostly what I'm dealing with now)

- Too much moisturiser left skin oily.

Definitely give it a go, not sure whether it's worth that price though.

Pros:

Gets rid of small red bumps fast
Gets rid of redness
Shortens time you have huge bumps

Cons:

Doesn't prevent new acne from appearing

The spot treatment was good, but can't be used all by itself. I still use it from time to time and it helps, but my skin still sucks. As a whole, the system helps get rid of acne. Although, like everything else I have used (Proactiv & Skin ID) it gets rid of what you have, but doesn't stop new zits from coming. So essentially you solve the old problems and replace them with the new ones. This is at least what happened when i used it.

Pros:

-decreases pimple size
-clears chest acne
-decreases redness
-feels tingly
-smells good

Cons:

-hasn't cleared up all acne yet

This product feels great and started working for me the next day. I am a little weary because of the reviews saying that it works for the first week and then stops, but I think it depends on your skin type. I find that I have very tough skin, so the drying aspect of the product doesn't affect me. The biggest pro is that my chest acne (which was very light, but a big concern of mine) is completely gone after 2 days!

Pros:

better and cheaper than proactiv

Cons:

kept my acne from getting a lot worse but didn't help ever really get rid of it.

After a disasterous time with proactiv I used this and it worked better and made it so i didnt have huge painful pimples but im still on the hunt for something that will get rid of all the smaller ones I still constantly get.

Pros:

Helps with oiliness.

Cons:

Extremely Drying
Makes face red

I would not recommend anything from clean and clear. If you really have severe acne and want to get rid of it, then its worth buying the expensive products. This is a very cheap acne medication product.

Pros:

Leaves the skin feeling clean and soft
Starts working on the 2-3rd day of use :)
Smells really nice :D

Cons:

If it's not being used consistently it doesn't work properly and the skin will break out.

I started to use this product because I was beginning to get fed up with teenage skin! I have been suffering with it since I was 10 and I'm now 16! I had a massive break out of spots on my cheek and every other product that I had used cause the spots to get dry skin on the whole on my right cheek (which has now left me with a little scar in my dimple) I bought this product after reading many good reviews and they were proved right after about a week :D I use the cleanser and moisturizer in the morning and evening and my skin is now perfect. I would recommend using it twice a day, because then it'll really work :D

Pros:

Minimized pores

Cons:

broke skin out even worse
dried skin
irritating

It did not stop any of my pimples from forming. The first week it made my face SO RED and dry, my skin was peeling. Then after using it for about 3 weeks I was still getting constant underground pimples, 3 of which I STILL HAVE. I am quiting the product today and using Baking soda.
